YogaNow, 215 Gold Street SW
We all experience anxiety from time to time, whether in the context of social interaction, trying something new, job interviews or going to the doctor. Additionally, over 6.8 million Americans suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, which can severely limit a person’s enjoyment of life. In this workshop, we will learn to recognize the roots of anxiety and explore tools to overcome it, including asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, relaxation, and discussion of relevant science, ancient texts and personal experiences. Facilitated by Robin, this workshop is suitable for all levels.
